Any chance we can trade some of our announcers for some pen relief?Rockdawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-7009470021064564612009-06-19T19:09:42.971-04:002009-06-19T19:09:42.971-04:00Totally agree about the fascination of out of town...Totally agree about the fascination of out of town broadcasts...I think it&#39;s a form of voyeurism for the baseball junkie. I especially love listening to the dry, sarcastic white sox radio announcer, Ed Farmer, which I can usually pick up here in Milwaukee.<br /><br />So Paul, did you get the trivia question right on Tuesday night&#39;s broadcast on FSN Wisconsin?<br />...who hit the first home run in Seattle Pilots / Milwaukee Brewers history? <br /><br />I was at the bar watching with my softball buddies, all Brewers fans. None of them had any clue, and were highly impressed with my correct answer (or more like educated guess), Mike Hegan. <br /><br />I of course let them think I knew that out of sheer baseball knowledge, when in actuality it was a combination of intuition (the answers trivia questions typically relate to the opposing team) and familiarity with his career, being a fellow Ignatius alum.<br /><br />Speaking of, I sure miss the all-Iggy announcer tandem of Jack Corrigan and Mike Hegan on good ole&#39; WUAB!milwaukeeTribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15412453471476254358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-5601548427114322992009-06-18T23:37:01.987-04:002009-06-18T23:37:01.987-04:00Oh, just stick a fork in &#39;em, PC.

If your ShapSpeak is a little rusty, I&#39;ll translate: The division needs to continue to suck for the next month. We already will have to play .600 ball from here out to get to 85 wins, which is remarkably unlikely; if another Central team gets really hot, or if the MKE series was the start of another protracted losing streak, it&#39;ll be time to put the garage sale signs out.Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07502305143627372038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-55366670785609072442009-06-18T18:28:27.883-04:002009-06-18T18:28:27.883-04:00This relates to nothing here...except sports in ge...This relates to nothing here...except sports in general, but I HATE Brian Kinney (I don&#39;t know how to spell it) on ESPN. I just wanted to declare, right here on the DiaTribe, that he has vaulted to #2 on my list of Sports-related personalities that I hate. #1 is still being held down by Rich Gannon.Rockdawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-57578912744171196072009-06-18T16:12:22.320-04:002009-06-18T16:12:22.320-04:00It is sick how managers cling to this whole LH-RH ...It is sick how managers cling to this whole LH-RH match-up thing. These guys are professionals and I refuse to believe that exposing a player to 50% of pitchers is a positive step in that players development.<br /><br />And how could Ken Macha not have done a simple Google search on Matt Gamel to see his numbers in the Minors? There is sooo little to do as Manager of a Major League Baseball team...the absolute LEAST you can do is bother to know your players&#39; strengths in weaknesses.<br /><br />Rant over.<br /><br />Have fun in Chicago!
